A report from the Office of Applied Studies for the US Department of Health and Human Services SAMHSA, shows that Minnesota estimates for alcohol and binge alcohol were among the top ten states of the country. The N-SSATS and TEDS survey also showed that out of the 10,078 patients admitted for drug treatment during a one-day survey, 7,246 were in the outpatient category with 832 being below the age of 18 years. In addition, the TEDS data also showed that there has been a shift in the type of admissions, with drug-only admissions increasing and alcohol related admissions declining over the fifteen-year period from 1992 to 2006, pointing towards serious drug problems in Minnesota and also in Bemidji, MN.

If someone you know is in need of treatment for drugs or alcohol, you can help them by directing them to our listings of rehab centers in our directory. You can review all the options and select one based on person considerations. All types of treatment options are available, but the time for recovery depends on several factors, such as the type of addiction, the severity or intensity of the addiction and so on. Some types of addiction might require inpatient or residential treatment, whereas others might allow you to go in for an outpatient program. There are short-term solutions that last for 30 days and long-term alternatives as well.
